Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, a team of scientists from the University of Amsterdam have developed a material that can reflect different colors of light, depending on how it is stretched.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) stimulates neurons without surgery or devices Promotes brain cell growth, dopamine production, and reduces Parkinson’s proteins Paves the way for non-invasive ...

This paper examines the global communities’ regulatory and scientific advancements in nanotechnology and nanomaterials since 2000. It explores some similarities and differences in nanomaterial safety ...

In 2025, as the Paris Agreement marks its tenth year since its signing, the global energy structure has entered a critical transformation phase. While solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have become an ...

Despite improvements to air filtration technology in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the smallest particles — those of automobile and factory emissions — can still make their way ...

Using machine learning, a team of researchers in Canada has created ultrahigh-strength carbon nanolattices, resulting in a material that's as strong as carbon steel, but only as dense as Styrofoam.

Nanomaterials are used in various fields due to their distinct size-dependent properties, and accurate characterization is essential to optimize and design them for specific applications. 1 For ...

Amber Keegan receives PhD funding from The University of Sheffield. I’m one of many researchers studying how to create, manipulate and apply these materials sustainably to develop new technologies and ...

Langer says others in the field didn’t believe his first papers in the late 1970s describing nanoengineered polymers capable of slowly releasing large molecules. Despite intense skepticism, Langer ...

A newly developed nanomaterial that mimics the behavior of proteins could be an effective tool for treating Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. The nanomaterial alters the interaction ...

Engineers have developed a record-setting nanomaterial which when stretched in one direction, expands perpendicular to the applied force. It is a common hack to stretch a balloon out to make it easier ...
